Lyrics

[01:00.89] Cross the border they turn water into wine
[01:05.91] Some say it's the devil's blood
[01:09.52] They squeezing from the vine
[01:12.11] Some say it's a savior
[01:15.04] In these hard and deseprated times
[01:18.16] It seems to help me to forget
[01:21.60] And we're just born to die
[01:39.43] I came here like so many did
[01:42.38] To find a better life
[01:45.40] To find my piece of easy street
[01:48.58] To finally be alive
[01:50.85] I know nothing good comes easy
[01:54.27] All good things take some time
[01:57.23] I made my bed and I'll lie in it
[02:00.50] To die in its crime
[02:03.21] You can't help but prosper
[02:06.05] Where the streets are paved with gold
[02:08.94] They say the oil wells ran deeper here
[02:12.52] Than anybody's known
[02:15.07] Now I packed up on my wife and kids and left them back at home
[02:20.85] See there's nothing in this paydirt
[02:24.07] The ghosts are all I know
[04:02.98][02:26.95] Now the oil's gone
[04:05.66][02:29.59] And the money's gone
[04:09.01][02:32.66] All the jobs are gone
[04:11.73][02:35.75] Still we're hanging on
[04:14.70][02:38.64] Down in
[08:27.33][08:15.25][04:15.99][02:39.90] Dry county
[04:18.15][02:42.03] They were swimming in the sand
[04:20.93][02:44.41] Praying for some holy waters
[04:24.48][02:48.59] To wash these sins from off our hands
[08:02.54][04:28.22][02:51.85] Here in dry county
[08:04.87][04:30.76][02:53.95] The promise has run dry
[08:07.72][04:33.55][02:57.29] Where nobody cries
[08:23.68][08:10.72][04:36.36][03:00.08] And no one's getting out of here alive
[03:14.65] In the blessed name of Jesus
[03:18.40] I heard the preacher say
[03:21.21] That we are all god's children
[03:24.40] And he'll back someday
[03:27.70] I hope that he knew something as he drinks that cup of wine
[03:33.45] That I don't have to have too good of feelings
[03:36.16] As I head out to the night
[03:38.64] I cursed the sky to open
[03:42.03] I begged the clouds for rain
[03:45.08] I prayed to god for water
[03:47.93] For it's burning in my vain
[03:50.87] It was like my soul's on fire
[03:54.41] Now I have to watch the flames
[03:56.83] All my dreams went up in ashes
[03:59.97] And my future blew away
[07:20.88] Men spent their whole life waiting praying for some big reward
[07:26.25] It seem sometimes they pay off leaves
[07:30.34] You feeling like a dirty hole
[07:32.90] If I could choose the way I'll die
[07:35.96] Make it by the gun or knife
[07:38.60] 'Cause the other ways there's too much pain
[07:42.14] Night after night after night after night....
[07:49.88] Down in dry county
[07:53.29] They're swimming in the sand
[07:55.82] Praying for some holy water
[07:58.69] To wash the sins from off our hand
[08:30.83] (No~~)
